FMI Workbench is a software application whose main aim is the calculus of a quality index, named FMI, over an ensemble of samples organised in groups belonging to a project. It is possible to import projects already written or to export them and to execute the main operations over data to be managed and to show and modify samples and groups, to add or delete data and so on.

MI is a mathematical index whose aim is to measure quality. Its mathematical definition is: As may be noted, FMI is the square root of a finite sum of quantities, each one is function of a particular parameter parameter of the system we are measuring quality. Depending on the aim of this index, the number and the types of the parameters change. Parameters are exponentiated to the fourth power of the normalisation functions of observed quantities of samples we are considering. There are three different types, but none can exclude that in future we can consider other types that can model better the reality we want to consider. Every accepted local parameter can have values in the range -1..1. So the fourth power, named local FMI, can have values in the range 0..1. As we will define parameters, the best value that FMI can have is 0, the worst one is 1 because the sum of n parameters that can have max value 1 are divided by n. More different from 0, worse quality the samples has.

Three types of parameter exists:
1. centered
2. more
3. less

All parameters have two extremal values: the max and the min accepted values. The accepted values are so by law or by some physical constraints or by some other causes. Anyway they are fixed a-priori. The centered parameter represents those observables whose optimum is the average os the two extremal values. The more parameter represents those observables whose optimum is the max value. The less parameter represents those observables whose optimum is the min value.
